Masking tape 3M 8992 is a dark green polyester tape with silicone adhesive. It can be used in a large variety of high temperature applications including powdercoat masking, flashbreaker, and bag sealing applications. Additional applications include, splicing, tabbing, or roll closing silicone treated liners or materials.
Features
- Polyester films offer excellent thermal, abrasion, and chemical resistance while maintaining their flexibility.
- Green color makes tape placement obvious for both application and removal.
- Backing leaves a sharp paint line.
- Silicone adhesives offer high heat resistance compared to many rubber and acrylic adhesives, reducing failure due to softening, oozing, and adhesive transfer.
- Silicone adhesives adhere well to tough-to-stick-to surfaces like silicone liners and fixtures coated with mold release.
- Silicone adhesive removes cleanly from many surfaces.
- Linered version available for die-cuts (8992L).
Application Ideas
- Masking for powdercoat painting.
- Flashbreaker tape when pulling through cured coating such as epoxies.
- Holding and splicing difficult to stick to surfaces such as silicone liner.
- Holding parts or sealing vacuum bags during processing.
